Hao Ren saw Lily's woozy face and knew that the maiden knew nothing about the situation earlier. "Raven 12345 just projected herself through the breach that you opened when you 'sneaked' in here. She possessed you to say a few words to me."
Lily could not care less if Raven 12345 had possessed her. "Arf Arf? What did the goddess say?"
"We may have more helpers in the future," said Hao Ren. "Each time we go back in time, the degree of isolation of the distorted space and time will lessen. If we encounter other acquaintances during our journey, they'll be able to 'sneak in' just like you. But since only your consciousness can come in, you can't bring equipment and acquired skills. Your strength will be what it is during that time in history.
Lily quickly understood what Hao Ren meant. She looked down at her hands and realized something. "No wonder I feel weak, and I can't summon my Frostfire Claws."
